Conquer Your Fear

Is there something in your life you are afraid to do? Go to the gym? Ask a person out? Try a new food? Touch a spider? Well today is your lucky day because today is ‘Face Your Fear Day.’ My suggestion is you and a friend conquer a fear together. Imagine how different your life will be once you’ve overcome this fear. One thing will be true – that fear will no longer control you.

As engineers you are trained to know – know your math, know your formulas, know how to find the answer to why it broke. That’s why I like to make you guess how many candies are in the jar! Yes, the annual guessing game is back. Conquer your fear of not using a formula and take your best guess. Winner will be announced next Friday (10/21). Oh, there is an actual prize. Be sure to place your best guess when you stop by for your required course request meeting. 

Yes, it is that time of the semester. Everyone needs to meet with me between now and the end of course request (Tuesday, 10/25). Please schedule your appointment today.  To schedule your meeting, please use your Google calendar, on the left side of your calendar you will see a drop down option to view other people’s calendars. There you can search for mine.  Once you open my calendar you can select a meeting date & time.
